Auradin

An Auradin is a Paladin build in Diablo II. It uses mostly Offensive Auras to damage the opponent. The idea of an Auradin is to stack his auras in order to get the full effect of the damage caused. An Auradin is not always a frontline fighter. He evades his attacker by running or teleporting away with the right equipment, and he lets his auras do the work. But they can do a high amount of damage while hitting. There are several types of Auradins:

This Auradin is a Paladin build maximizing the use of the Holy Fire aura. It is capable of excellent damage capabilities until Hell Difficulty. Contrary to popular belief, this build will not work with Holy Shock or Holy Freeze in place of Holy Fire. For Shock, you only have the Dream Rune Word for a shield and helmet, which would only have 2 stacked Shocks. And Freeze you only have Doom or Ice as a weapon and that will be only aura. So, in all honesty, this is the BEST Auradin build you could possibly make.

Omnidin is a versatile Paladin build primarily using Runeword equipment to project multiple elemental auras around the character, hirelings, and party members. The goal of this build is to simultaneously stack Holy Fire, Holy Freeze, Holy Shock, Defiance, and Redemption all as passive skills. This gives the option for the Paladin to use Fanaticism almost exclusively and switch auras only if the situation demands. Aura options are Salvation for improved resists and Conviction to nerf monster resists, but otherwise Fanaticism should be your primary.

This build is not skill nor attribute intensive though does require higher level characters to procure and equip the required gear. Putting a few points into Holy Freeze is advisable. Use Freeze early on to slow monsters until Fanaticism or gear can replace it.

The greatest benefit of the Omnidin is its ability to merge well with other popular builds including Zealot, Avenger, and Smiter.

This is the bread and butter of this endeavor. You'll note the high level requirements for much of this gear so be prepared to use lower levels finding your personal play style which can then be augmented with this build.
